Balance

It is important to have well-developed and efficient stabilising muscles to give you a platform to react, adjust and change direction

Balance comes from a sense called proprioception.  It is your neuromuscular system’s ability to hold and micro-adjust continually, under extreme pressure.  Stabilising muscles and associated nerve development need to be worked on.  Not doing so will mean weak deployment of your overall strength, and potential injury.

In keeping with overload and specificity principles, you can challenge yourself and improve your balance.  You can perform proprioception drills with progression, such as with eyes closed and on one leg, and then resisting pressure from an opponent.  You should also engage the core through a series of stabilisation drills, and then progress to dynamic core stability drills.  The neuromuscular system gets challenged more as you become fatigued.  RugbyMax helps create a physiological environment where you can push harder and for longer whilst maintaining sound technique.  This enables you to adapt to more extreme scenarios, improving balance that much more.
